  2. Carbonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid

    The molecule rapidly converts to water and carbon dioxide in the presence of water. However, in the absence of water, it is quite stable at room temperature. [5] [6] The interconversion of carbon dioxide and carbonic acid is related to the breathing cycle of animals and the acidification of natural waters. [4]

  3. Carbon dioxide (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_(data_page)

    ‡ Second column of table indicates solubility at each given temperature in volume of CO 2 as it would be measured at 101.3 kPa and 0 °C per volume of water. The solubility is given for "pure water", i.e., water which contain only CO 2. This water is going to be acidic. For example, at 25 °C the pH of 3.9 is expected (see carbonic acid).

  4. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    Carbon dioxide is the lasing medium in a carbon-dioxide laser, which is one of the earliest type of lasers. Carbon dioxide can be used as a means of controlling the pH of swimming pools, [139] by continuously adding gas to the water, thus keeping the pH from rising. Among the advantages of this is the avoidance of handling (more hazardous) acids.

  5. Alkali metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_metal

    The hydroxides themselves are the most basic hydroxides known, reacting with acids to give salts and with alcohols to give oligomeric alkoxides. They easily react with carbon dioxide to form carbonates or bicarbonates, or with hydrogen sulfide to form sulfides or bisulfides, and may be used to separate thiols from petroleum.

  6. Surface properties of transition metal oxides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_properties_of...

    Two promising methods for the description of the acidbase properties of metal oxides are Calorimetric measurements of adsorption enthalpies and Temperature Programmed desorption. [16] The measurement of the heat of adsorption of basic or acidic probe molecules can give a description of acidic and basic sites on metal oxide surfaces ...

    A Assuming an altitude of 194 metres above mean sea level (the worldwide median altitude of human habitation), an indoor temperature of 23 °C, a dewpoint of 9 °C (40.85% relative humidity), and 760 mmHg sea level–corrected barometric pressure (molar water vapor content = 1.16%). B Calculated values *Derived data by calculation.

  8. Alkali - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali

    A basic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal [2] (this includes Mg(OH) 2 (magnesium hydroxide) but excludes NH 3 ). Any base that is soluble in water and forms hydroxide ions [3] [4] or the solution of a base in water. [5] (This includes both Mg(OH) 2 and NH 3, which forms NH 4 OH.) The second subset of bases is also called an ...

  9. Alkaline earth metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_earth_metal

    The alkaline earth metals are six chemical elements in group 2 of the periodic table. They are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). [ 1 ] The elements have very similar properties: they are all shiny, silvery-white, somewhat reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure .
